Cast Iron

Frequently Asked Questions...

How do you connect a cast iron sewer line to a fallen PVC sewer line?

We had the misfortune of our sewer line disconnecting and causing a back-up into our basement. The disconnect is less than 2 feet below the surface and all we need to do is connect the settled (fallen) PVC pipe back onto our Cast Iron Pipe. RotoRooter wants to charge us $1500, which I think is insane, I think we can do this ourselves. Any advice on what we need to buy for the connection?

Answer:

You probably need two (maybe one may work) no-hub coupling(s) or coupler(s) (print image for plumbing supply) and maybe a short length same size pvc pipe connect to the short length sticking out of cast iron hub and the other end to the existing pvc.
